Does anyone here know of a book or website that lists all the different clock designs George Nelson did for Howard Miller?

I know of Architonic, which list quite a few, but it would be great if there was a more comprehensive listing of all the different clocks with model numbers etc.

Here's a picture of a lamp I've only seen for sale recently and couldn't find any info about. Does anyone know when it was made, what it's called. etc?

Thanks James, thats a very nice website. Also great to see all the variations of the Bubble lamps. Most often I only see the ball, cigar and saucer variations.

love to see book
I a m surprised that Leslie Pina for shiffer books has never written a book on the clocks of George Nelson . This woman has written on every subject on the mid-century design and then started writing on what she left out she must have at lest 50 separate books in print on Every thing ever done by, for, or about Hermann Miller, Alexander Girard and others dealing with furniture and design,

yes I was also a bit surprised that there are no books out yet, since there really seems to be a huge collectors market for these clocks at the moment...
Has anybody else seen this particular clock before? It doesn't have the Howard Miller label anymore, but it definitely looks like a vintage Nelson clock. The only thing which is bothering me is that it seems smaller in diameter than other Nelson clocks, such as the spikes or ball clocks.

I have a large collection of George Nelson clocks as well as the Vitra clocks reissued ( i like them better cause i hate the old electric cord) I have never seen that clock. I have a feeling that it might have been put together with spare parts and some imagination. I saw one today at a vintage modern store that someone tried to craft with old spare parts like the round disk and the hands .

I was afraid of that... I will ask the seller and see if he has any kind of documentation that proves it is an original...
